So, at first glance, these verses appear to be saying that it’s possible to lose your salvation. “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that THEY WHICH DO SUCH THINGS SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. ” Galatians 5:4Īnd then Paul gives a stern warning later in chapter 5: “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law YE ARE FALLEN FROM GRACE. Here are the two verses, where the Apostle Paul is speaking to saved believers in the church at Galatia who thought that, in order to keep their salvation, they had to obey God’s laws in addition to having faith in Jesus. There are two verses in chapter 5 that they cite to try to prove this. Galatians chapter 5 is cited by those who believe you can lose your salvation as another proof text that shows salvation can be lost. Today, I want to look at Galatians, chapter 5, and specifically whether it is possible to lose your salvation by falling from Grace.
